Features & Capabilities

IMPORTANT NOTE (4/10/2020): As of today, I see Instagram has enabled DM on the Web. I don't think this add-on is longer needed, unless you want to chat on a tiny bottom-right window, instead of the whole window. Thanks to all who installed and submitted those friendly reviews!

This add-on allows you to chat on the Instagram Web app, which is not available by default although the functionality is there.

Functionality Modifies the Instagram page doing the following:

Adds new chat icon on the top-right menu
Shows/hide a chat-box once you click on the new chat icon

How it's done For a technical explanation, check this add-on's website or the "Technical Details" section.

Is Instagram Chat Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Instagram Chat requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Instagram Chat has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
